Magnetic arrangement for therapeutic application

ABSTRACT

PCT No. PCT/DE96/01395 Sec. 371 Date May 22, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date May 22, 1997 PCT Filed Jul. 23, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/11749 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 3, 1997The object of the invention is a magnetic arrangement for the treatment of surface near skin or tissue areas of the human body having several mechanically connected magnetic bodies (M1, M2) which build an active surface on, or in, the vicinity of which the magnetic field there present is utilized. Use has long been made in therapeutics of flexible magnets of plastic bonded hard ferrite having at least one North and one South pole on their active surface facing the body, whereby the pole configurations are arranged in different ways dependent upon the therapeutic objective. It is thus possible to generate magnetic inductions only in surface near skin or tissue areas. A magnetic arrangement of several magnetic bodies of high coercive field strength with different energy densities is proposed to attain locally restricted higher magnetic inductions.
